## Narrative

The shotcrete spray crew was in the process of clearing the hoses between the machine and the spray nozzle.  The employee was holding the nozzle when the material in the line broke loose, causing the nozzle to whip out of EE's hand.  The material coming out of the nozzle sprayed the employee in the chin and then down EE's abdomen.
